AT THE CAPITAL.
SOCIAL cAYETlEs OF THE SEASON.
The Story Told by Pretty Girl at q Tea
Table-Cabinet Ladies.


Mrs. Whitney having temporarily re-
tired from society, the social duties of
the Capital devolve upon Mrs. Manning,
Mrs Endicott and Mrs. Villas. Mrs. Man
ning's social ambition was one reason
for her husbands acceptance of Cabi-
net post. Mrs. Endicott bears the Oldest
name in Massachusetts, and wealth and
honors go with it. Mrs. Villas has well
established social position, and is re.
markably pretty woman.
Mrs Clevelsnd's Tuesday and Thurs
daysmorning hour receptions have be-
come public in the number of callers
crowding in to shake hands with her.
Perhaps the fact that she gives but four
Saturday afternoon receptions in the
season has something to do with it. The
morning hour seems to be the only
chance many persons have to see the
mistress of the White House. Hereto
fore custom has fixed every Saturday re-
ceptions at the White House, and stran-
gers in the city would time their stay to
include one Saturday for the reception
in order to see the White House and its
hostess. Curiosity to see the Presidents
wife is, in fact, a pardonable interest by
the American people that may well be
regarded as compliment The hostess
of the White House, whether wife or
sister of the President, is the one woman
whom strangers desire to see To visit
the capital, 90 to the White House, and
not see the mistress is to leave duty

MRS. WILLIAM y. Villas.
ION, dearl really believe the other
fellows are jealous of the poor army

said with little tantalizing laugh. Then,
soothingly: But you shall, you must
have another cup of tea"

he was not strong, and he yielded.
There, now, this cup is ever so much

Say you don't believe it,
IF it was horrid | wouldn't believe it,

stubbornly, but manfully holding his
ground. There is Blank now, just

been dancing around Washington almost
ever since he graduated. What do you

man went away walking on air, so to
speak. His chair at the tea table was
soon filled by Lieut.. Blank.

1t is not possible to refuse to admit
strangers with cards; if any cards are &C.

A Lapsus Lingue.

People are very prone to complain of
their inability to find policeman when
that functionary is most needed, and so
frequently are the guardians of the
peace the object of a well-nigh fruitless
search that the failure to put in appear
ance at opportune times has become al
most an axiom. The following incident
is ludicrous illustration of the point in
question: The other evening some trou-
BILE was in progress in house on Eliot
street, and gentleman who was pro-
ceeding up that thoroughfare was hur-
riedly accosted by an officer, who asked
the former if he had met policeman at
the other end of the street. The gentle
man replied that he had not. whereupon
the first speaker made the startling as
sertion: That's always the way; you
never can find one of them when he is
wanted" The officer. as soon as he had
uttered this imputation on his own guild
realized the ridiculous lapsus Lingug of
which he had been guilty, and with a
confused expression of countenance re
sumed his search for assistance, leaving
the gentleman to whom he had been
speaking greatly amused.-BOstOH Bud

Gauged by Circumstances.

1t was thrifty urchin. albeit of tender
years, who fell down on the icy sidewalk
and cut slight cash in his tough little
palm the other day. Some kindly pass
ers-by stopped to bind up his hand and
offer the little fellow consolation. A
gentleman gave him dime, and when
the lady who wound her handkerchief
around the injured hand asked him if he
did not feel pretty comfortable, he re-
piled with astounding candor: "Yes'm,
as comfortable as a Teller can fur 10
cents" That boy had sense of values.

A DOMEsTIC.41ED S1ORM-BIRD.

The stranger was q singular bird, with a
russell feather gown trimmed with white ut
the tip, and q mellow red beneath his wings.
His eye was brilliant in the extreme, and
courage was reflected in the poise and car
riage of his head. Not many hours had
passed until he knew each member of the

Of those who had caressed him. The bird
was given to q gentleman 10 rear, and he
was christened with the storm drops on his

known, and every day develops his fondness

excitement and rapidly sends forth the
notes of a curious song, more warlike than
sweet.-Baltimore Sun.
